The Divine Envoy couldn't quite put a name to what he was feeling.
He felt some regret, some anger and humiliation, but mostly resentment!
He resented Ye Yu for not knowing what was good for him!
If Ye Yu had just shown him a little deference, he could have taken the opportunity to back down.
That way, even though Ma Baoguo was dead, Ye Yu, who had devoured Ma Baoguo's Divine Spark, could undoubtedly have taken his place.
The Divine Envoy would have lost nothing.
But who could have guessed that Ye Yu wouldn't give him the slightest respect?
Not only had his tone been dripping with sarcasm, he'd also made up the ridiculous excuse that Ma Baoguo had suddenly suffered an epileptic seizure and died.
Did he fucking think the Divine Envoy was an idiot?
Embarrassed and humiliated, the Divine Envoy now held an intense grudge against Ye Yu.
"Ye Yu, Ye Yu! You brought this on yourself!"
"Your existence will remind me every second of every day that I'm a blind fool!"
"As a Divine Envoy, how could I allow that to happen?"
"So blame your bad luck!"
"If you'd just shown me some deference, I might have let the whole thing go. But now... hehehe!"
The Divine Envoy's expression shifted between dark and bright as he glanced at Ye Yu, his eyes full of venom.
Feeling the Divine Envoy's gaze, Ye Yu knitted his brows and immediately grew wary.
He knew his attitude just now would anger the Divine Envoy.
But Ye Yu didn't care!
Ever since the Divine Envoy had agreed without hesitation to Ma Baoguo's request for a Divine War, Ye Yu had cut all ties with him.
"Make way!"
Ye Yu took a deep breath, put aside the trouble the Divine Envoy might cause him in the future, then calmly parted the gawking crowd and headed for his room!
The moment Ye Yu disappeared, the Divine Envoy sprang to his feet and let out a heavy snort.
"Hmph!"
"Xiao Gui, stay. The rest of you, get out!"
The gawkers didn't dare dawdle. They scattered like startled birds and hurried away.
Xiao Gui looked at the Divine Envoy suspiciously.
He had no idea why the Divine Envoy had asked him to stay.
A moment later, only Xiao Gui and the Divine Envoy remained in the great hall.
At last, the Divine Envoy, who had been silent until then, raised his head and looked at Xiao Gui. In a low voice, he asked, "Xiao Gui, tell me: can I trust you?"
Xiao Gui paused, then nodded.
"Please rest assured, Lord Divine Envoy. I, Xiao Gui, am a Believer of Great God Arbor, so of course I'm loyal to Arbor God City!"
"If you have any orders for me, just say the word!"
At that, a trace of a smile finally appeared on the Divine Envoy's gloomy face.
He nodded with satisfaction.
"Excellent. You truly are the greatest genius in Arbor God City!"
After praising Xiao Gui, the Divine Envoy finally revealed his purpose.
"Xiao Gui, I heard that you and Ye Yu have... well, some bad blood between you?"
"How about this?"
"I can give you a chance to vent your resentment..."
Before the Divine Envoy could finish, Xiao Gui's face had already filled with astonishment.
He stared at the Divine Envoy, stunned.
"Lord Divine Envoy, what do you mean?"
The Divine Envoy frowned slightly.
"In the next few days, I'll give you an opportunity!"
"You challenge Ye Yu to a Divine War. Then... do you understand?"
"Once you devour Ye Yu's Divine Spark, you'll be among the top New Gods—not just in Arbor God City, but in the entire Divine Kingdom!"
At those words, Xiao Gui's expression changed dramatically.
"How can I do that?"
The Divine Envoy's face darkened.
"Ye Yu has already devoured Ma Baoguo's Divine Spark. His potential is no less than yours now!"
"If you want to keep your title as the greatest genius, you have to nip Ye Yu in the bud. Do you really not understand something so simple?"

The Divine Envoy's tone had grown extremely unpleasant.
He felt that Xiao Gui was being strangely obtuse.
After hearing the Divine Envoy's words, Xiao Gui's face flushed with anger.
"Lord Divine Envoy, you've got the wrong person!"
"What kind of person do you think I am? I, Xiao Gui, would never stoop to such a despicable trick!"
"That's right, I want to hunt Ye Yu down!"
"But that will be after the Immunity Period. I'll face him in a fair and square Divine War!"
"Not now, using these sneaky, underhanded methods!"
"Lord Divine Envoy, you're a despicable man!"
After saying that, Xiao Gui snorted and strode off.
The Divine Envoy was stunned.
Only after Xiao Gui had walked away did he fly into a rage!
"Bastard! Bastards!"
"Every last one of you is a bastard!"
"I, Ya Muyoujiji Yemeidandan Shabi, will make you all learn the consequences of angering me!"
Shabiya, the Divine Envoy whose Divine Name was Ya Muyoujiji Yemeidandan Shabi, let out a low roar.
For the sake of his pride, Shabiya had set foot on a path of no return that grew more dangerous by the day.
Knock, knock, knock!
A knock sounded at the door.
"Come in!"
Ye Yu turned around in surprise and looked toward the door.
As soon as he spoke, the door swung open.
Xiao Gui stood in the doorway, his face expressionless.
"You?"
Ye Yu frowned.
Why had Xiao Gui suddenly come looking for him?
While Ye Yu was still wondering, Xiao Gui spoke with a stern expression.
"Watch out for the Divine Envoy!"
After dropping those words, he swiveled around and strutted off, his pride intact.
Ye Yu was stunned, then fell into thought.
He'd already seen that the Divine Envoy held a grudge against him.
But Ye Yu didn't care.
Apart from Xiao Gui, who could pose a slight threat to him, there was no one else in all of Arbor God Temple who could come close to his level.
Even if the Divine Envoy wanted to use someone else to kill him, there were few besides Xiao Gui who could threaten Ye Yu.
As for the Divine Envoy himself?
He was a Lesser God.
But in Arbor God Temple, especially during this month-long Immunity Period, he would never dare attack Ye Yu!
Unless he wanted to throw away his future.
Ye Yu didn't think the Divine Envoy had gone that crazy.
Now Xiao Gui had suddenly appeared and warned him to watch out for the Divine Envoy.
Clearly, the Divine Envoy had approached Xiao Gui!
"Looks like Shabiya is going to arrange for someone to deal with me!"
Ye Yu thought to himself.
He'd known all along that Shabiya wouldn't be able to swallow his anger.
Still, he didn't regret it.
The moment the Divine Envoy had unhesitatingly sided with Ma Baoguo that day, today's outcome had become inevitable.
"Shabiya, you still underestimate me!"
"After devouring Ma Baoguo's Divine Spark, my Divine Domain has expanded to 815 square kilometers."
"With a Divine Domain this vast, I have enough resources to summon at least another 10,000 Earth Players!"
"Against more than 10,000 players who can resurrect infinitely, no god below the Lesser God level will be my match!"
"Xiao Gui is no exception!"
A trace of coldness crossed Ye Yu's lips.
Shabiya, you want to come after me?
Your wish is doomed to fail!
Whoever you send will be nothing but an experience pack for me!
